Minimalist, yes, but warm and welcoming, too. Located in Kifisia, a northern suburb of Athens, Greece, the tranquil 19th century villa of George K. Karampella, owner and creative director of concept store TR2 and his wife Marina Lida Koutarelli is a peaceful oasis — an oasis with the most amazing floors, I have to say.

Thrilled with my beautiful new pillar candle from venerable London-based company Watts and Co., who are celebrating 140 years in business. Hand made from blended beeswax, the candles are produced in England in small runs, carrying on the company's rich tradition as Britain's most prestigious ecclesiastical furnishing company (these are in fact church candles). My own candle shipped lightning fast from the UK to Canada — order your own candles here.(photo by me — follow me on instagram at automatism)
